I won't say who broke through my defenses.

"So Ranpo, you did know in advance after all!"

"It's not just the famous detective; Dazai isn't there either!"

Ranpo's little face was all wrinkled, his lips were pouting, and he was muttering in dissatisfaction.

"Yes, and what about Dazai?"

Ranpo's words reminded Yosano Akiko of this person who was also absent from the scene.

Ranpo was indeed unable to fight or withstand attacks, but Dazai was different. Although his superpower wasn't related to combat, he was decent in physical skills, and most importantly, he could at least withstand attacks.

"Hey~ Hey~ Ranpo-san, don't wrong me~ I was trying my best to invite the beautiful lady to commit double suicide with me. I knew nothing about what happened at the detective agency, and I came out to help as soon as I found out."

Dazai made exaggerated gestures, his voice rising at the end, making him look exceptionally frivolous, but his iris-colored pupils showed no emotion as he silently gathered information with his eyes.

Ranpo glanced up at Dazai, said nothing, and turned his head away with a sullen snort.

Well, this guy really didn't know what happened next, but he really is the world's most talented detective.

"Alright, I'm telling you, you two guys should at least come over and help out, shouldn't you?"

Yosano Akiko helped Naomi, who was also a girl, walk towards the detective agency, and didn't forget to call for the two who were still standing there, seemingly lost in thought, to come and help.

Please, are you expecting her to carry them all back by herself? Have her off.

Ranpo attempted to pull someone into the water.

I bet Dazai knew from the beginning, but he didn't expect that Chuuya would run into him and come to his defense.

[They still shouldered everything together with Dr. Yosano.]

[Dazai, don't worry, in a few nights a pretty girl will come looking for you.]

Teacher, you're looking at the wrong thing, aren't you?

I can't wait for the dungeon scene after Dazai is captured!

After leaving the crowd, Chung used his supernatural abilities to quickly return to his villa.

On the way back, I didn't miss a single comment, and I only looked away when the comments disappeared. Will Dazai be caught and taken to the dungeon in a few days? No matter what Dazai's purpose is, I will definitely go and see the miserable state of that mackerel.

It wasn't that Chuuya truly didn't care about this matter, but rather that he was genuinely at a loss. He simply couldn't fathom what those with sharp minds were thinking.

Fortunately, he has bullet comments. Although he often says things that are hard to understand and sometimes gulls over girls, he also reveals some important information in them.

After Dazai and the others carried the other injured members of the detective agency into the medical room, Yosano Akiko followed with an excited and expectant smile on her face.

"Oh, Dr. Yosano seems to be in a good mood today!"

Seeing Yosano Akiko's expression, Dazai remarked.

"Ah, the famous detective hasn't had any snacks today. I'm going to ask the secretary to take him to buy some!"

As he said this, Ranpo ran off into the distance. Dazai watched Ranpo's retreating figure, and then, looking at the president's office in the completely opposite direction, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ranpo-san, you're going the wrong way~"

After giving Ranpo a hint, Dazai turned around and went back to his office, which was now a complete mess.

These were no longer just the marks of a simple fight. Dazai Osamu looked at the marks in the middle, which looked as if they had been crushed by a heavy object, and smiled.

Not only that, there was also a piece of iron with uneven edges embedded in the ground there. Dazai gently brushed the ground with his finger, his smile widening, and a light of excitement flashed in his iris-colored eyes.

[You guessed it, didn't you, with Dazai's obvious special ability?]

[After all, Chuuya used his special ability in the end, so if we narrow it down to the mafia, it's not hard to guess.]

Dazai stood up, dusted off his hands, walked to his broken desk, groped around the desk a few times, popped out a drawer, and took out a small laptop and headphones.

"Oh, thank goodness it wasn't broken, otherwise it would have been a real headache."

Dazai didn't care about the environment; he found a surviving chair, sat down, put the computer on his lap, and his fingers immediately began to dance across the keyboard.

"Then let me see what exactly happened~"

After muttering this to himself, Dazai raised a finger and clicked a button. The previously incomprehensible characters suddenly transformed into a series of surveillance screens, which clearly showed the location of the Armed Detective Agency's office.

[Chuya probably never imagined that someone would install surveillance cameras and listening devices in his office.]

That's not actually the case.

On the contrary

Chuuya must have known Dazai would do this, but he probably didn't expect the brat to review the records.

Chuuya really hadn't thought of that, but even if he had, he wouldn't have cared too much about it.

After all, Dazai's methods of hiding these things were exceptionally cunning, and he would hide a large quantity of them. Often, just as he found one, Dazai would release several more. Over time, people got used to Dazai's behavior.

Moreover, compared to Dazai now, I can now find out what that guy is doing through the comments, so thinking about it that way, it seems like we're even.

"No, this time is wrong too. It should be a little later."

"Ah~ I found it."

The computer screen showed the moment when Kenji had just finished taking down the last member of the mafia. Dazai put on the headphones next to him and stared intently at the screen.

Dazai's pupils contracted when he saw who it was.

"Oh no! I should have known better than to watch it. Why is it a short, dark-skinned creature?!"

[Dazai's classic quote: A dark, short man]

[Chuuya's quotes that break down defenses]

Osamu the Rabbit always manages to find something that makes Chuuya furious.

I'm even more excited for the dungeon storyline!

Although he said that, Dazai's eyes didn't leave the screen, and he even blinked less often.

"What? It's just a violent dog... Well, it's surprisingly gentle with girls. I knew it wouldn't be like this... It becomes so frivolous when someone's around."

Dazai mumbled something incoherently, pausing slightly after a few key words. Knowing Chuuya so well, he knew Chuuya had no intention of harming the girls, so knocking them unconscious first was to avoid accidentally injuring them later; the force was perfectly controlled. A dark glint flashed in Dazai's eyes, but he didn't look away for a moment.

"You think you can just take down the entire detective agency with your physical skills? How arrogant!"

Although that's what Dazai said, he knew better than anyone that his former partner possessed such strength.

Let's fill in the blanks. It's clearly a violent creature—but there's no one—by its side. What word is the one without a sound? It's so hard to guess!

I know the answer to this one: it's about a puppy and its owner.

[How's Chuuya's taijutsu? Dazai, you've already experienced it for yourself.]

[The Little Rabbit Slayer is a man of strong character but honest nature]

[Since Chuuya heard that Bao holds a grudge, Little Rabbit Osamu will take advantage of Chuuya's absence to say a few more words.]

[Actually, even when Chu was present, Dazai should have said something.]

Although Chuuya wasn't actually there, he still found out. Far away in the villa, Chuuya silently clenched his fists. Good, very good. He was now just as excited for the dungeon as the comments. Shorty, right? Little dog, right?

If he doesn't beat that mackerel to a pulp, he'll write his name, Chuuya Nakahara, backwards.

Suddenly, Dazai's gaze fell on the moment Chuuya jumped into the air due to being attacked from both sides, and he paused the game.

Dazai zoomed in on the screen and froze the image on Chouya's neck as he was lifted into the air and his hair fell down due to gravity.

"What is this? Did the puppy recognize another owner because its original owner wasn't around?"

What should have been a very ordinary chorker had a heart-shaped pendant hanging down from the back.

What is this heart-shaped pendant? What is its special meaning? And why did Chuuya suddenly add this heart-shaped pendant?

Dazai's signature smile was still there, even brighter than usual, but the warmth in his iris-colored eyes had vanished completely.

Dazai Osamu saved a screenshot of this scene, muttering to himself, but in his mind he had already gone through all the people in the mafia who had been in contact with Chuuya.

"Oh dear~ I never thought even a short, dark-skinned person could have their day. I wonder who was so unlucky to be chosen by such a little guy. Ah~ I might as well print out this photo and use it to laugh at him later~"

【Hey, I didn't notice that either? Am I supposed to have a God's-eye view?】

[Is this really not something Dazai did to tease Chuuya?]

I won't say who broke down.

[How sour! Who's jealous?]

[But Xiao Zhong's chorker looks so cool and sexy; I can't even imagine wearing it in front of me.]

As Chuuya watched these comments, his fingers unconsciously touched the pendant on the back of his neck. Ever since this pendant appeared, he had never been able to take off the chorker around his neck.

However, this chorker seems to have been modified by the system. Wearing it doesn't feel like anything, and there's no discomfort even when sleeping. Over time, I almost forgot about it.

Dazai Osamu continued playing, and he had already found a very good reason for himself.

"Although I really don't want to see Chuuya, it's only natural for the owner to care about the puppy's growth over the years, right?"

Although it was a question, Dazai said it with an affirmative tone, and his expression was even more focused than before, occasionally adding his own comments.

That's too violent.

Chuuya's taijutsu skills have deteriorated; he's regressed.

Chuuya's cloak got dirty.

...Of course, all of the above are Dazai's one-sided accusations.

During the subsequent review of the surveillance footage, Dazai Osamu would occasionally take screenshots or cut out a small segment of video.

If a careful observer looks closely, they will notice that these screenshots and videos share a common feature: Chuuya's gaze often lingers on a certain spot in the void, and that spot is clearly empty.
